If I thought for even a minute that it was stress related I would go down that avenue,but,I know my own mind and body and while it does seem to happen when I am worn down or sick,stress has not been a contributing factor.I am seeing an endocrinologist in few weeks and getting all of my vitamin,mineral and hormones checked.It very well could be a deficiency of some sort that becomes worse when my body is under physical stress,but mental stress is not the issue.If it happened when I was mentally stressed,it would be a permanent issue :)
I meant stress might be precipitating these attacks.
That is very rude.Could you relax if all of a sudden your legs quit working? or your muscles contracted and did not let up and it felt like every fiber being ripped apart to even move? Not likely..The only stress I have is having something wrong with me and no answers.
Maybe its stress related? Relax.
I tried everything and nothing worked. Then I focused on B1, and probably took 100 mg. a day for a few days. I got results almost immediately.
My brother called me recently because he developed sciatica. The B1 did not work for him, so he may have a compressed nerve. I suggested he go to a chiropractor. I guess one could have nerve damage and then nothing would work. But have your friend try the B1. It's fast and cheap and he might be as lucky as I was. It is now 20 years since I got rid of that pain. I am on regular vitamin supplements, but occasionally take a booster dose of B1.
Sciatica? Really? What formula and dose? How long did it take to heal you?
I know someone that would love to know and I'll try to pass on the information. :)
Good suggestion. I would add B1 to that. It cures me of cramps and, years ago, it cured me of sciatica.
Temporary paralysis has some connections to magnesium on google. I'd try minerals: Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, and Sodium. And Vitamin D to go with the Mag/Cal.
These are important for normal nerve and muscle function.
I just remembered. The woman I told you about who had "hysterical paralysis," had a mother with the same symptoms.
Oh,I have been to the emergency room numerous times.They only check reflexes and take blood.they decide I am not going to die from it,so they tell me to see a neurologist which I do,in about 3 months when they can make me an appt and by then,the symptoms are gone,starting the cycle all over again.
Long ago I knew someone with your affliction. It was diagnosed as hysterical paralysis. It could be that they gave that diagnosis because they couldn't find a physical cause.
The next time you have a serious episode, go immediately to the emergency room. That way you will be examined whilr there are symptoms.
